Bonapartes Gull and Meds hit new heights

Heysham Obs
The outfalls produced yet another German-ringed 2CY last night.  To recap on known darvic ringed birds in the current 'pool' of at least 25 Meds:
German (green rings) 2CY = AKRS, AKUR, AKZH
Polish (red rings) 3CY = PNE7
Belgian (Yellow darvic added by us) 3CY = 2P96

Please inform us of updates on the above and please don't send them in yourselves as it creates extra admin.  Thanks.  I will make sure you are acknowledged

Any new ones, and this is quite likely, with e.g. a green 3CY somewhere in the mix, please let us know the details if you are sending in yourself or simply pass on to me and I will make sure you are fully acknowledged.  Thanks.  PMrsh123@aol.com

A dispersing Reed Warbler was ringed this morning

Moths
We managed find a two-pin 160 watt blended bulb stored in a garage at Bentham - the last in the country?!   Unfortunately an easterly wind then kicked in and knocked the catch on the head.  The actinic at Middleton was more successful with Silky Wainscot, Silver Hook and Ebulea crocealis highlighting
